“I’m humbled and honored,” Mackle responded, “and it’s such a good cause.”

Mackle, 78, has spent much of his life serving others. After running an automotive business for 30 years, he turned to politics and helping people solve problems in their communities. He was Wayne County Treasurer for 20 years and is currently a Field Representative for State Senator Lisa Baker (R).

“This gesture by Bruce’s friends is a win-win for all concerned,” said G. Richard Garman, executive director of the Wayne Memorial Health Foundation. “It’s a great tribute to Bruce and a wonderful gift for the hospital. We hope it is the first of many such endeavors among friends in our community.”
